Two improvements of the foliation based quad meshing method

Quadrilateral meshes with high level structure and feature preserving property benefit industrial applications the most. Generation of such quad mesh remains a challenge. Quad meshes generated using surface foliation have the highest level structure, however they lack of the feature preserving ability. In this paper, we analyze the boundary curvature with Gauss-Bonnet theorem to determine whether a boundary rectangle corner preserving foliation based method exists. When it exists, we adopt a modified double cover technique together with surface foliation method to generate a corner feature preserving quad mesh. The experiments demonstrate the efficacy of our algorithm.
